“He was not his addiction – unfortunately, it won. But that wasn’t who he was,” Michele told Seventeen magazine in April.

“Cory made me feel like a queen every day. From the minute he said, ‘I’m your boyfriend,’ I loved every day, and I thank him for being the best boyfriend and making me feel so beautiful.”

Michele told Teen Vogue that Monteith had heard all of her new album Louder.

“He heard every song and gave me notes on everything,” she said. “He loved Battlefield. I’m getting chills thinking about it. I would say Burn With You was his favourite. He came into the studio that day.”
